Bourne Hall Museum will be celebrating some of the many writers who have celebrated our local area. All have died, hence ghost writers. Four re-enactors will be playing the writers, Mrs Beeton, Robert Fabion, Samuel Pepys, and Charles Dickens. To run alongside the event, we are holding a poetry competition for local children to write poems on what they like about the local area or a local place.These will be judged by the poet Ana Mclaughlin in the following age groups: 5–8, 9–12, and 13–16. If there is the demand, we could add a further older age group. The top three in each group will win a signed copy of her new anthology Heroes and Villains, which will be presented by her at an event in October at Bourne Hall. Poems should be emailed to me at dbrooks@epsom-ewell.gov.uk or dropped off at the Bourne Hall desk.
